[Sblim-devel] wbemcli issue creating instance references

[Sameer Z. <sa...@ya...>]

 Hello,
I'm trying to create a CIM_IndicationSubscription instance on a remote host using wbemcli, using a valid Filter and Handler instances. The command fails with error "CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER".
Looking at the XML output of ei for CIM_IndicationSubscription, I see the Filter and Handler references have LOCALINSTANCEPATH:  


<INSTANCENAME CLASSNAME="CIM_IndicationSubscription">
    <KEYBINDING NAME="Filter">
      <VALUE.REFERENCE>
        <LOCALINSTANCEPATH>            <<<---
          <LOCALNAMESPACEPATH>
            <NAMESPACE NAME="root" />
            <NAMESPACE NAME="cimv2" />
          </LOCALNAMESPACEPATH>
          <INSTANCENAME CLASSNAME="CIM_IndicationFilter">



Looking at the XML output of ci, I see wbemcli is sending references using INSTANCEPATH not LOCALINSTANCEPATH, which I suspect is the issue (not sure though):



<INSTANCENAME CLASSNAME="CIM_IndicationSubscription">
  <KEYBINDING NAME="Filter">
    <VALUE.REFERENCE>
      <INSTANCEPATH>                        <<<---
        <NAMESPACEPATH>
          <HOST>10.18.10.92</HOST>    <<<---
          <LOCALNAMESPACEPATH>
            <NAMESPACE NAME="root"></NAMESPACE>
            <NAMESPACE NAME="cimv2"></NAMESPACE>
          </LOCALNAMESPACEPATH>
        </NAMESPACEPATH>
        <INSTANCENAME CLASSNAME="CIM_IndicationFilter">


Is there a way to change wbemcli ci behavior to use LOCALINSTANCEPATH instead of the full INSTANCEPATH with HOST portion?
Many thanks for your assistance.
